Abstract
In modern society, people are often suffered the nervous tension for a long time, and results in inevitably internal injury of bodily functions. The periodic and comprehensive medical examinations are necessary, makes the chemistry analyzer to play an important role. Although the chemistry analyzer is operating automatically, different manufacturer defines distinctive specifications. That causes the interoperability problems in the chemistry analyzers, and the analyzed results could not share and integrating. Therefore, this study proposed to solve the problem, which was basing on the international standard protocols of ISO/IEEE 11073 and Health Level Seven (HL7) to develop a software application. The developed application could control the different brands of chemistry analyzers according to the ISO/IEEE 11073 standards. The data will be further compiled into HL7 format and save as an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) text file. Finally, the data are uploaded to the current hospital information systems. In order to achieve an interoperability platform that supports a variety of instruments at the same time. Not only enable the messages’ exchange in the healthcare systems, but also have high degree of sharing between the hospitals.
